Rejection from football clubs is a difficult experience that requires persistence to bounce back and continue developing as an athlete.

“I feel like nobody likes rejection like being rejected it's not the best feeling and it being like basically you're not good enough to be playing football how I saw it you're not good enough to be playing football even though it was just I'm not good enough for Leicester I might be good enough somew”

Building resilience to rejection is essential because being rejected or rejecting others is a natural and inevitable part of the dating process.

“It's one thing to be rejected by the person you love. It's another thing to be rejected by a stranger who you don't know. This is just human nature. We go on dates. Even if we're not into the person, we want them to be into us.”

After a rejection, it is important to allow oneself time to process negative emotions before deciding to take action again.

“you do need to wallow in it you do need to take some time you do need to feel sad or frustrated you do need to let all of that come up because you know what those are very appropriate emotions”
